Tennessee is now three days shy of the third matchup of the season.

Several existing injuries within Team 120 have forced the Vols' less experienced players to step up to the plate in the last week—and after Josh Smith reportedly "tweaked" his ankle in Tuesday afternoon's practice, Tyler Byrd is now among the list of players to gain more reps versus Ohio.

Butch Jones spoke with the media on Wednesday about the week's preparations before facing Ohio in Neyland Stadium this Saturday, gave an update on Josh Smith's seemingly minor injury and weighed in on Byrd's opportunity to gain more reps this weekend.
